The study of aiming movements encompasses the intricate balance between rapid, pre-planned motor commands and slower, corrective adjustments that ensure accuracy. In goal-directed tasks, the initial ...

Muscle synergies represent coordinated activation patterns of groups of muscles that simplify the control of complex movements. This concept suggests that the central nervous system reduces the ...

Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential ...

A new UCLA Health study highlights concerning gaps in how child neurologists understand and address motor difficulties in ...

Within the brain’s frontal lobe lies the primary motor cortex, a sliver of neurons that coordinates movement. Beginning in the 1930s, scientists developed a map of this brain region called a ...

High-speed sensors have revealed that pianists’ fingertips can shape sound color through precise movements. This long-sought proof turns artistic intuition into measurable science.

Movement in animals is complex. Little has been known about how spinal inhibitory interneurons work to silence other neurons and related muscle groups in coordination with the active muscle groups ...

In the evolving landscape of pain management and rehabilitation, neuromuscular retraining has emerged as a paradigm-shifting approach that addresses the underlying causes of musculoskeletal pain ...

On a chilly day in the fall of 2020, Scott Imbrie’s joyful voice preceded his entrance into the seventh-floor lobby of the Center for Care and Discovery, the University of Chicago Medicine’s flagship ...

If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Inside neurons, motor proteins haul precious cargo, moving essential goods along thread-like roadways called microtubule tracks. This miniature highway system is vital for keeping ...
